Davis Connect 7-12

Hello Wonderful Students and Families!

We are excited to have our 2nd annual Hot Chocolate Hangout this Monday at 6-7:30. It will be at our building, the DISC building at 2195 University Park Blvd, Layton. We will be at the West entrance.

We will be serving hot chocolate, playing games, and collecting food items and money to donate to one of our most needy communities, at the Clearfield Teen Center. With the longest government shutdown in history, we felt a great place to put our efforts would be towards the families near Hill Airforce Base. There are 3 ways to donate.

1. Come to the hangout and bring cans of food
2. Use the qr code on the attached flyer to donate directly to the Teen Center
3. Go eat at Pizza Pie Cafe and mention Davis Connect and 25% of your bill will go towards the Teen Center.

Some more information about the Teen Centers in our district: they provide laundry services, food, showers, and a quiet place to do their homework with internet access and other accommodations. These are run mainly by the counselors at each high school. We hope that these services not only help the teens in our community but help their siblings and parents as well.

Davis Connect Teacher Shout Out! Summer Guymon really is a gem 💎
She’s one of our incredible math teachers here at Davis Connect, and we couldn’t be luckier to have her!

Summer is a proud mom of five (with one son currently serving a mission in Peru 🇵🇪). When she’s not teaching, you’ll find her cheering on her kids, baking something delicious, boating under the summer sun, or cozying up with a Hallmark movie. ☀️🍰🎬

In the classroom, Summer’s a Canvas pro, always the first to answer a Teams call, and a total multitasking master. Her creativity and dedication shine through in everything she does — for her students and her team. 💙

We’re so grateful for you, Summer! 💫

Students in grades 4th-12th grade are invited to tour the State Capitol building on October 23rd. Please arrive at the school by 9am if you would like to ride the bus. The tour will begin at 10am. Students will be back to the school by noon.

💙🐾 What an amazing Back to School Night! 🐾💙
